This wasnвЂ™t possible in the final version, although there is a roadblock in the Highway 17 chapter of the finished game where the player does something similar to a barrel-toting truck. At the end of the video, the player shoots an explosive barrel that was behind an old car, which made the car explode and jump into a nearby zombie. This is thought to be a scripted sequence for the EВі video. The trailer also showed the ability of Combine enemies to try to break down doors, which did not make it in the final release. It seems to share some similarities with a section from the Ravenholm chapter from the released version of Half-Life 2, mostly the setting of the section. Traptown was to be a section of the Ravenholm chapter. The E3 video вЂњTraptownвЂќ shows that at some point in the gameвЂ™s development it was also possible to shoot any gun while using the HEV suitвЂ™s zoom function and that the player could discard weapons, indicating they could only carry a specified amount of firearms at a time. Another vehicle to be included was what looked like a large mining device, to be used in Ravenholm. Other cuts from the game included a drivable jetski, which was eventually replaced by the airboat in the final game because it was too much like running around on foot. The Citadel also looked very different, it was more round than the bulky Citadel from the final version. Originally, Eli and Alyx Vance had no relation, and EliвЂ™s lab was originally intended to resemble a form of scrapyard and town in a cave than a better equipped laboratory within a hydroelectric power station the scrapyard area where the Gravity Gun tutorial takes place resembles the original concept being an auxiliary area as opposed to the bulk of the lab. Parts of the book detail how Gordon would fight alongside characters such as Odessa Cubbage, albeit under a different name and in a different place, as well as fighting together with Colonel Vance вЂ“ a character that was later merged with Eli to become Doctor Eli Vance вЂ“ and VanceвЂ™s forces. The game was originally intended to be much more diverse in settings (to the extent that the game felt almost overblown, and little time being spent on developing existing characters one of the key reasons for it being cut). The CrematorвЂ™s head would eventually be featured in EliвЂ™s lab in Black Mesa East, encased in a jar of formaldehyde, which Eli will make comments about when the player nears the jar and views it. There was also a planned creature called the Cremator who would clean the streets of bodies after a skirmish with a massive acid gun called an Immolator, which would double as an offensive weapon when the Cremator would become an enemy.

We've asked Valve for clarification. Somehow procured by unofficial site ValveTime, the 32 images include various new Alyx designs, Gordon Freeman in various bits of cold weather clobber and a few concept pieces showing the Resistance chopper crashed in the Arctic.
